Patchsets were created with 'git format-patch +--keep-subject', so + + 'git am -3 [ ...]' + +is the tool to re-apply them. For each attempt it's noted where the branch +was applied last time, so it's likely a good idea to re-apply that code to the +same commit again, to ensure a clean patch application and to allow seeing the +context back then. + +These branches were removed from the Git repository at all to reduce the +clutter seen in listings of branches. + +All files containing code are (tar'd and) gzipped to not clutter up recursive +'grep'ing in the main source folder.
